WICHITA,S CANDIDATE.

A Topeka correspondent OF the Kansas
City Times goes into column discussion
of the probable candidate for governor te
succeed Martin, the greater humber OF
whom he summarily disposes of in one
wav and another. Under the above head
ing the writer says:
Down at Wichita resides the eagle eyed
editor of the Wichita Daily EAGLE; Marsh
Murdoch. For years and years has tins
man written of the sweet and baiiny
breezes which kiss the fertile SOIL OF the
great prairie state. Since the latter part OF

During all that time his biggest aim and
object in professional way, has been to
write of Kansas and her glories. The city
of Wichita is monument TO his
work. aud now that that prosperous
center has been so well developed Muir
dock feels like going into politics tor
whirl or two. In word he wants to be
governor and some OF his friends are work

for him IL is in order to state. however,
that he will never get it. Marsh Is too
good man and not a good enough pollti-
c,an "a gel there He cannot endorse That
which he believes to be wrong and ne can
not successfully enact the role OF hypo'
critic. No. Colonel Murdoch will have TO
wait until the new err in Kansas Rcpubli

high premiums for hypocrisy Murdoch VIII
have ID he counted out.
Such an unsolicited compliment, even IN

Republican nomination. 1t would De use
less to deny that we have been highly graf
fled even to citation over the warm com
mendations If the press and assurances OF
help from hosts of friends. But the Time
Is coming when it is due such deVoteo
friends that they understand our cohVlc-

We think, no lack Of appreciation upon
our part of such an honor Us the chiet-execu

accepted ends through which
the position can only, in these times, be
reached, overw helm any ambition which
we may now or ever had TO encompass 1t.
And it will not be understood that we are
offering any objections to the prevailing
methods or that there is any protest
against things which are inevitable. for, As
the outgrOwth of party measures and sys-
TENS, they are inevitable; yet. their obliga-
tions and restraints are none the less an

of himself, shrinks from the results OF the

vcntions.
Wichita's candidate, therefore, is not
candidate at all.

that had been accustomed to select his own

Woullln,t Sell His Drunk so cheap

Standing in the lobby of hotel in Ban

with a gentleman who was representing
II medical apparatus with a long Greek
ra,ne. It is not my intention to give the
arrangement for vapor baths puff, but
do want to describe Il rather funny incl

COMPANION had Just been describing to me
how his process would sober off in half an
hour q man on the verge OF dclirium
tremens, and how many men never
thought of going home to their families
without having recourse to his machine.
While we were talking man, evidently
very much under the influence OF too po-
tent libations, came in, and, leaning over
the counter, began rather thick conver-
sation with the clerk. We sauntcred over,
and soon were on the best OF terms with
the devotee of Bacchus. After while
the man said he wished he could taper OF
and go home. Here was an opportunity,
and the machine above referred to was
explained to him. Five minutes later he
had staggered up stairs. and stood ready
to be cured His coat was already on,
when n drunken idea seized him. "Shay,
what er tn cost of bath?" he asked.
"Two dollars was the reply. ''Well.

Drinks for the Voice.

Tea, coffee and cocoa are three admissi-
bic drinks, but none in excess. For the
voice cocoa is the most beneficial. It
should never be made too strong, and
those cocoas are the best that have been de-
prived Of their oil. \ cup of thin cocoa.
Just warm, is more to be recommended
between the exertions Of singing than any
alcoholic beverage. Tea must not be
taken too strong. nor when it has drawn
too long, for tea then becomes acid and
has bad influence upon the mucous
membrane that lines the throat.
There is always il dry sensation after
